The most delicious slice ever!!!!!

Day 6 of quarantine. First thing today we went for walk around the subdivision we live in. On the walk we walked past a driveway with a lot of worms half dead, so we saved them by putting them back in the lawn😊😀😁.  After that, we baked some Blondies. They are delicious and taste really crunchy and like chocolate. If you were wondering how to make them it will be down below. After eating lunch my dad and I went out for track-stands. If you were wondering what they are it is in my latest blog post. At the end of quarantine we are going to be pro's.   

Blondies

Ingredients 
1/2 cup milk or non dairy milk
2 Tbsp maple syrup
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1 Tbsp flax seed meal
2 tsp vanilla 
3/4 cup almond butter or peanut butter (smooth)

1/2 cup flour ( we used GF flour but any flour will do)
1/4 cup almond flour
2 Tbsp coconut flour
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsb baking soda
1/4 tsb or more cinnamon
1/2 cup or more vegan or any chocolate

How to make
1. preheat the oven to 350 degrees F/ 180 C

2. in a bowl, warm the non dairy milk until hot. Add the rest of the wet ingredients and mix well until smooth. It will take a minute or so for the nut butter to mix in. ( warm the butter before adding so it mixes quicker.

3. in another bowl mix all the dry ingredients and add to the wet and mix in . fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.

4. Drop the batter on parchment lined pan ( 8 by 8 inch brownie pan ). Spread using oiled hands or spatula. Sprinkle some chocolate on top and then press in. ( optional )

5. bake for 22 to 24 minutes. ( or until a toothpick an inch from the edges comes out almost clean ). Cool for 15 minutes then remove from the pan. Cool for another few minutes before slicing.

Quarantine

Hello, I'm blogging on day 5 of quarantine. It wasn't what I expected though.  I thought it was going to be scary but it was much more fun. I had time to make some stuff I got for Christmas like a meccano race car. I had to make it out of bolts and nuts so it took a long time to make. I also got to go on the iPad for a bit and play with my friend online. I'm still sad about not seeing my friends but it is for our health and I don't want to get Coved-19. I have some games I do in quarantine like track-stands  on my ride with my dad. That's when you put you front brake (or back) on and try to not move or put your foot down for as long as you can and me and my dad have competitions of who can do it for longest!  Dad and I are getting better at them.




finished on day 6

The jolliest Jolly jar

This term, our Project Based Learning (PBL) started with the teachers putting us into groups. In these groups we had to work collaboratively to create Jolly Jars for the school fair. This task helped us to begin exploring our PBL question for the term - How can we build community through our actions? We had to research ideas, be creative with our product, experiment with our materials and write instructions that could be followed by others.


Here is a link to my instructions.

I learnt that instructions need to be interesting good and it needs a doing word at the start good understanding steps a cool title to get peoples eyes to look.


Reflection on PBL:
For our Jolly Jar my group and I did origami animals. 

I contributed to my group by helping with instructions when I was finished.

Our Jolly Jar was creative because we used good ideas and with it and you made lots of stuff  and you didn't have to do are ideas 


What I learned about working with others was you don't have to do all your work with your friends you can do it with others.

 How did we build community through our actions? By raising money for the bike track in our school,The fair was so fun and good for our school.
